Tasteful, classic nudes only

[Peter Dransfield]

I am extremely resistant to rottie attacks Debra.

I asked a question and I had my reply. Artists have generally found appeals based on the taste of the majority unconvincing and in fact under logical fallacies these appeals are called argumentum ad populum and carry no weight at all but....Cynthia is free to base rules on whatever she likes.

Are we there yet?

I think it is the word "tasteful" that causes ire. Its message is somewhat suggestive that one person's taste is better or finer than another person's. There is a fear that one's intentions may be misunderstood and judged by someone who is unaware of those intentions. However, this forum is in general an exclusive forum and judgment is a major aspect to its existence. Exclusivity is - as much as overtly sexual imagery is - I think a product of human nature, and if it can be articulately and strongly defended, it can earn its right to exist.
